! going meatless on thanksgiving sounds like such a game-changer for people who wanna explore new food options without feelin guilty about their choices. the recipes shared are so on point too, especially that pumpkin miso tart sounds insane 
i've been meanin to try more plant-based dishes and this article has me all fired up! it's also super inspiring to see someone changin the traditional thanksgiving menu in a way that's still true to their values. can't wait to try out those vegan turkey roasts too 
. I get where this author is coming from, but for me, the meat part just isn't as important as catching up with family and friends. That being said, their mushroom Wellington recipe looks AMAZING 
! And I love how they're thinking outside the box with vegan turkey roasts – who says you can't have your cake (or in this case, pumpkin miso tart) and eat it too? 
, but at the same time, I think it's kinda weird how some ppl are so opposed to turkey on Thanksgiving... don't get me wrong, I love trying new vegan stuff, but what about all the ppl who just wanna sit around and watch the game? Can't we just find a way to include everyone in the celebration without makin' everyone feel left out?
I guess what I'm sayin' is, let's just make Thanksgiving about bein' with the people we care about and enjoyin' some delicious food together, regardless of whether it's veggie or not.
. I've been thinking, why do we always tie certain holidays to specific foods or traditions? Can't we just pick what feels right for us in the moment? Like, who says Thanksgiving has to be about turkey? 
. I've been feeling more adventurous with my cooking lately, trying out new plant-based recipes like that mushroom Wellington looks insane! 
. I've been eyeing that vegan turkey roast thingy... sounds like a total game-changer 
. The important thing is that people are having meaningful conversations about values and ethics - that's where the real magic happens 
!
anyone who's actually tried vegan "turkey" is gonna tell you it ain't the same 
... I realized how much this holiday has become about more than just stuffing our faces with food, it's about nourishing our souls too 
. It's amazing to me that people are still tied down to these traditional recipes when there are so many more delicious options available now! My mushroom Wellington is literally the stuff of legends 
! The views were insane and I swear I saw like 5 deer grazing by the trail 
. Anyway, speaking of food, have you tried that new vegan cheese they're releasing at Whole Foods? 
I know it's kinda pricey but I've been experimenting with plant-based recipes and it's a total game changer for Thanksgiving dinner... or in my case, vegan-friendly Halloween feast 
. It's also super important to think about what our traditions mean to us on a deeper level, and not just do them out of habit or obligation. Maybe it's time for us to rethink what Thanksgiving truly represents? 
What's great about this article is that it's not just about the food (although, let's be real, those recipes sound amazing
